Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered me.

Kasang laa. Patang ka khang naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka kawkhaih lok to anih mah ang pathim.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

Aw Angraeng, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk hoi alinghaih palainawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

Aw aling thaih palai nang, kawbaktih danpaekhaih maw nang paek han? To tih ai boeh loe na nuiah timaw ka sak han?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Nang loe thacak kami ih kasum palaa hoi hmai kamngaeh thing hoiah thuitaek han oh.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Kedar ih kahni im ah ka oh moe, Meshek ah ka oh pongah, kai han khosak bingh!

6 My soul hath long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

Ka hinghaih hnuma moe, angdaehhaih hnuma kami hoi nawnto ohhaih atue sawk parai boeh.

7 I am [for] peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Kai loe angdaehhaih koeh kami ah ka oh; toe lok ka thuih naah, nihcae loe misa angcoenghaih to koeh o lat.
